The First Haircut, a short story written in 1970 and published in 1976, is the first in a series of prose pieces by Bohumil Hrabal describing Nymburk, the town where he spent his childhood. In 1981, The First Haircut was adapted for the screen by Jiry Men
The book is not a novel, but a collection that mixes short stories, drama, and essay fragments, with a focus on death, power, and existential dilemmas.
The book contains about twenty stories connected into one whole by the main character (the writer Oskar). It is, therefore, a kind of novel that, through intimate confessions, actually talks about the loneliness of the modern intellectual.
The author explores the mysterious urges and hidden areas of the human soul in the spirit of the mystical and fantastic genre of writing.
